Introduce Yourself Here

Welcome Broark

[Chris]

Give some advance notice next time you head down this way, and we could turn your trip into a full fledged meet up.  Pick up some quality beer at the Whip In, then roll down to Driftwood for all you can eat BBQ; could be cool…

Will do.

Had Salt Lick today, it was pretty good.

IMO it is well worth the drive to Lockhart to hit up Kruez, Smitty's, or Black's (though I've only had Kreuz), speaking of Q.

[urbanwoodsman]

I've heard about Blacks. Might try that out.

[Broark]

I spend a lot of time at Whip In, one of my favorite.
Blacks is actually opening up here in Austin, they're moving into that spot on Barton Springs where Peso & Bucks was across from the Long Center.
Seems like that place is cursed given how many different restaurants have been there, but I hope they do well because I love Blacks.
Also I think driving down to Lulling City Market is worth it.

[mclaincausey]

If Black's can't stay in business there they should turn it into a parking lot.

[Broark]

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they did that considering there's never enough parking here!
That being said I'm definitely going to try the Austin location out once it opens.

@Broark:

Luling City Market is my favorite BBQ place in Texas.

I'm always leery of secondary locations when it comes to 'cue.  So much is dependent on the pits and the individual pitmaster.  Even using the same recipes and supplies, the food just doesn't taste the same.  That said, I'd love Black's to succeed.  There aren't enough really good brisket joints in Austin.  Of course, I live in Houston, which is even more of a failure.

[Broark]

Lulling is up there for me as well. Franklin before the hype was great, now it's too much of a circus.

I'm weary of secondary locations with any smaller food places because of over expansion and things like that. But I really hope Blacks pans out, we need more quality BBQ in the city.

Hi there!..

Hi! I have been lurking for a little while but decided to join after I bought my IH black riders jacket.

Thanks to many of you for helping me make decisions and introducing me to a lot of other cool brands even though you didn't know it

welcome aboard.. the black rider is a cool jacket.

[czarofny]

I love the way it looks…but it is soooo stiff. Will it ever soften up a bit?

Evening everyone! Thought I'd join this place after getting my first pair of proper heavyweight denim (IHXB01-25 which I'm wearing as I type), looking forward to seeing how they develop and wear over the next few years
